# Remove website URL from comments form

 * I have scoured the web and tried numerous proposed solutions and none of them
   work. I finally came across the following resource which explained that if these
   methods do not work I would need to contact the support team to reconcile this
   issue
 * [https://www.wpexplorer.com/remove-wordpress-comment-url-field/](https://www.wpexplorer.com/remove-wordpress-comment-url-field/)
 * Please advise what steps are required to completely remove the URL field from
   the comment entry form. Note there are four fields displayed: Content, email 
   address, name and website. I want to remove the 4th item in that list so that
   people who leave comments are no longer able to include a website URL in that
   filed.
 * The only way I can remove this website URL field is to disable Jetpack setting
   named: “Replace the default comment form with a modern, feature‑rich alternative.”
 * Thanks for taking the time to review and respond to this request.

 * Hi there, [@dryheat3](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dryheat3/),
 * Are you referring to the comment form on hahn.tech.com? I checked the post you
   linked, and I cannot see the URL/website field to enter – please see the screenshot
   in the link below:
 * [https://cloudup.com/cAdocU9p05P](https://cloudup.com/cAdocU9p05P)
 * Can you tell me if I am missing anything? It seems like the Jetpack Comments 
   feature has been disabled at the moment, can you confirm this to me? 
   You can
   share screenshots if that helps. You can create screenshots using something like
   [Snipboard](https://snipboard.io/) or [Imgur](https://imgur.com/) and post the
   link here.
 * Look forward to your reply, and thanks in advance for your cooperation in sorting
   that out with us!

 * You are correct. I had to disable the Jetpack comments feature because it was
   allowing spammers to enter comments promoting their own websites. And I was not
   able to remove the “website url” from the Jetpack comments form. So was forced
   to turn that feature off.
 * So my request is this. Show me how I can disable the website url label and field
   from the Jetpack comments form. Once I can get that completed, I will be able
   to turn on the Jetpack comments feature again.
 * Here is a screenshot showing what it looks like when this feature is enabled.
   I have marked the field which needs to be removed. FYI, this really should be
   completely removed. It is only ever used for spam comments. So at the very least,
   the Jetpack plugin should include a setting to turn this off, and have it turned
   off by default. That would be the right way to do it.

 * Hi there, [@dryheat3](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dryheat3/),
 * Thanks for confirming that and for sharing the link with the screenshot. Currently,
   Jetpack Comments does not offer a built-in option to remove the website URL field
   from the comment form. If you want to disable the URL field, you would need to
   use custom code, or use a third-party plugin. 
   Since it goes beyond our [scope of Support](https://jetpack.com/support/scope-of-support/),
   we cannot provide further assistance with custom code, unfortunately.
 * I hope this helps anyway, at least to take an informed decision on whether to
   reactivate the Jetpack’s Comment feature. If you have trouble with spammers, 
   you could consider tightening the [comments moderation](https://jetpack.com/support/comments/#comment-options)
   and the [discussion settings](https://wordpress.com/support/discussion-settings/),
   and/or use [Akismet](https://akismet.com/) as anti-spam aid.
 * If you pivot for something else, we hope you will keep using all the other Jetpack
   features 🙂

 * Thanks for trying to help. But unfortunately this only adds to the long list 
   of features I have stopped using in the Jetpack plugin. It all started out great.
   But over time the Jetpack service has morphed into something that no longer adds
   any value to managing my website.

 * Hey [@dryheat3](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dryheat3/),
 * We really appreciate you sharing your thoughts with us, even if it’s not the 
   easiest feedback to give. I’m sorry to hear Jetpack no longer feels as valuable
   for you as it once did; we definitely don’t take that lightly.
 * Things have changed over time, and we understand not every update will work for
   everyone. At the same time, we’re always working on improving the experience,
   and I truly hope we’ll have the chance to win you back in the future.
 * In the meantime, thank you for having been part of the Jetpack community and 
   for giving it a try. Should you ever decide to revisit Jetpack, we’ll be here
   to welcome you back 🙂
